Rediscovering vinyl - Question about phono preamp
Thanks guys. Now my next decision is which brand TT. I'm leaning towards the MMF-7 over P-3. Seems many think a new table is preferable to a used, due to setup calibrations and such. Is this true? Guess I'll have to do some more homework on TT setup.

One system Audio & Theater - minimize compromise?
I think conventional wisdom is that you get a better synergy by using same brand amp and preamp. I am partial to Conrad Johnson. All their newer preamps have video loop. A tube preamp may give a more desireable sound for 2 channel. Many are using ...

Best Sounding used amplifier under 1000???
Conrad Johnson MF-2100 now on Agon @$750. It is 100wpc. The MF-2200 is 200wpc and should go for about $1000 used. Check out the reviews at audioreview.com. You can't go wrong with CJ
